Three BLM Vandals Could Face Life in Prison for Felony Criminal Mischief
Before you go out and get yourself arrested for the cause, whatever that may be, remember this. No, not don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. That assumes a level of knowledge that most “looters and Vandals” lack. You need to know the time before you do the crime or you get life in prison.
